- You don't have to ask whether it's ok to nominate a particular album - once it's alt/indie, doesn't matter how old it is.

Voted Camera Obscura,

Would've picked Radiohead but i figure everyonee will vote for that anyway, and i'm starting to "rediscover" that Camera Obbscura album since listening to their latest offering.

Amnesiac for the win (although I voted bonnie before noticing it). Amnesiac is their best album methinks.

A bold statement

Ugh, I hate when I get all Radiohead-fanboy about these things. I'd go with Kid A. Kid A/Amnesiac was Definiely that was their best "era", if you ask me.

In Rainbows is amazing though, it's a perfect mix of everything with a nice bit of new juice in there.
Hail to The Thief is pretty ropey i reckon. Few greats on it, but overall...disappointing. Especially after hearing the live recordings the previous year of 2+2=5 and There There, studio versions failed to live up to those first recordings.

Kid A is great, OKC is great...but i do think In Rainbows is their best so far.

I think Hail To The Thief is great! It sorta seemed that ideas that could've been found on OK Computer and Kid A/Amnesiac mixed together well. Great songwriting and a bit of trying new things. The guitar solo at the end of Go To Sleep rocks hard

In Rainbows, while very good, is an album that kinda struggles to bring me back to it.

I think In Rainbows is brilliant but the album as a whole kind of feels like its one song short of greatness.

Voted for Amnesiac by the way
